    Posted Mon March 04, 2024 09:25 AM

    While installing TWS upgraded version, getting below error.

    Jaspreet,

    if you have TWS, you probably have a support contract. My first suggestion is to open a support case at IBM ;-)

    My second suggestion is to check files which are referenced in the error message:

    /usr/common/TWS/agent.installer.aix.gtk.ppc_1.9.2007.20240131_1836/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/783/0/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-4630.a

    /usr/common/TWS/agent.installer.aix.gtk.ppc_1.9.2007.20240131_1836/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/783/0/.cp/liblibswt-pi-gtk-4630.a.so

    /roothome/.swt/lib/aix/ppc/libswt-pi-gtk-4630.a

    /roothome/.swt/lib/aix/ppc/liblibswt-pi-gtk.a.so

    If they don't exist, I think you reinstall your software.

    It is too TWS-specific case and I think only IBM support can advise you something here. Or you can post into a TWS community, but I don't know which one it is.

    That's a common issue with the IBM installer (Eclipse-based) on unix systems.

    Workarounds from the past ten years:

    • Install an RPM that provides the GTK libraries
    • Run the installer in console mode
    • Stitch together a Frankenstein JRE+swt lib


    What you should do:

    • Open a case to get an official answer

    Hi,

    Thanks for the responses.

    • libswt-pi-gtk.a 
    • liblibswt-pi-gtk.a.so
    • libswt-pi-gtk-4630.a
    • liblibswt-pi-gtk-4630.a.so

      Do we know which gtk package will contain these.
      As per open-source link, there are 5 gtk packages,
      gtk2-devel-docs 2.24.30 License RPM SRPM 'Developer documentation for GTK+'
      gtk2-devel 2.24.30 License RPM SRPM 'Development files for GTK+'
      gtk2-immodule-xim 2.24.30 License RPM SRPM 'XIM support for GTK+'
